Ffion Morgan's late goal to reduce Wales' deficit against Slovakia to 2-1 could prove vital come Tuesday's second leg in CardiffLive on BBC Two Wales, iPlayer, BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru, the BBC Sport website and app, plus live text commentary.Rhian Wilkinson says Wales must learn from their “worst performance” under her management as they bid to salvage their dream of qualifying for a first major tournament.
Wilkinson admits Wales are lucky to have not suffered a heavier defeat and hopes her players can take momentum from their late improvement that culminated in Morgan’s potentially vital goal. “We played with a franticness that I haven’t seen before and that is where a team that hasn’t quite made it a couple of times, you see that coming out and we are better than that,” she said.
“As soon as we started playing our football and had them running after us you saw how many chances we created. We’ve got to look for the positives and we are definitely looking forward to getting home in front of our fans and using that energy to spur the team on.”
